Ann Coulter's New Book & A Writer Fighting With Her Over The Title
It appears that somebody else has been writing a book called Godless that's been in the works for a long time and he wants to fight Ann Coulter over the title. It looks like both books are even being released on the same day, 6/6/06.

1. Can't copyright a title
He's out of luck, unless her book has the same story, and he can prove she stole his idea.

Too bad, because there is no bigger poser, and nobody I'd like to see go down in flames more.

2. Yeah, He Mentioned It In That Thread Over There
He looked into what he could do and there was nothing legal he could do about it and a doing a lawsuit anyway would just be stupid and clog up the system.

3. Well, he should name it
"Ann Coulter: Small Penis, or Huge Clitoris?"

4. I hope ann gets her wish.
Her mug on the cover with "GODLESS" plastered across the top.

Sounds good to me.

11. Here's the tie-breaker
Edited on Tue May-23-06 09:52 PM by swimmernsecretsea
A typical Ann Coulter photo: Looking at the camera in one of those horrid pleather miniskirts with what passes for her a confident pose (hand on hip, eyes glaring as if coming down from a meth high, rack thrust forward as if that presents an articulate statement, lips curling into a sneer or derisive laugh) and instead of "GODLESS," we have the words "SOUL-LESS" across her face. No, I mean REALLY across her face. Either written on her skin with a blunt red Sharpie pen or carved in with a inkless ballpoint pen.

Oh, I could be art director for the publishing house that prints her drivel.

6. I've checked out the site a few times
I'm a big fan of Ministry so the music kind of led me in that direction. I feel for Drew.. Imagine having the most slanderous, lying, factually inaccurate hate monger using the title of your book and people avoiding your book like the plague just by sheer confusion because of the titles...

9. Skinny Puppy or Ministry?
The people who run the prongs site set up that forum for the Litany.net(Skinny Puppy fansite) website after they had problems with the guy who ran the old forum from what I remember. prongs.org also has a Ministry fansite and forum they run as well.

7. Aww
Ann may have to wait before publishing her latest liberal bashing rant. Poor baby.

Geez guys...why did you post this? It's bringing tears of pity to my eyes. :sarcasm:

13. Not to get off topic but is Coulter a sex change deal?

15. Why does it matter? Is being a "sex-change deal" a bad thing?
It is possible to revile her in ways that do not hurt the transgendered members of DU and their friends.

17. Its a common barb tossed at her
But if it were true I am sure it would be broadcast far and wide. Therefore I don't think so

14. I have a title for her "Same Shit, Different Day Vol 1"
Of course I can think of dozens of authors that could benefit from using such a method for titling their "novels" for a lack of a better term.

16. The Coulter should change her book name to "Mindless"
Edited on Wed May-24-06 12:28 AM by Nikki Stone1
or, perhaps, Clueless.
